The news of another virus emerging in China has sparked fears among social media users that this disease could also snowball into a global crisis like the COVID-19.

As per the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), humans who contract the Hantavirus usually come into contact with four types of rodents that carry the virus; deer mouse, cotton rat, rice rat, white-footed mouse.

Hantavirus has symptoms similar to Coronavirus such as fever, shortness of breath, headache, muscle pain, chills, stomach problems, and dizziness. However, unlike Coronavirus, Hantavirus does not spread from human to human, according to CDCP.
